The driver was very nice and informative. However, the tour - as others have noted - was not as described. For example, we did not stop at either the Botanical Gardens or La Perouse Cape. I thought it was a truncated but more expensive version of the Big Bus Tour. This should not be taken as criticism of the driver but rather the tour description.

Guide was good; tour was just the right amount of time; weather was perfect; guide was very accommodating to our needs.

I expected a tour guide and had a driver only instead. I didn't learn anything about the city nor was I accomppinied by the driver. I was dropped off to be on my own at each spot with and got picked up and paid $300 for this below mediocre tour. Get an Uber instead and save yourself money.

<p>This was a very good tour except the tour guide shorted us an hour. Otherwise he did a good job of informing us of history, etc. One of us had to sit in the middle seat in an SUV so we couldn't see as well as we would have liked. Rating is on content of tour.</p>

<p>I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide was very professional and flexible with sights we wanted to see and also very informative about all aspects of Sydney and its surrounding area. This was a highlight of our weekend and left us with great holiday memories.</p>
